Chapter 1979: Chapter 1975: Reinforcements Seeing the Ape Ancestor being forced to retreat by Sun Wukong and others, Shen Luo felt relieved, withdrew his gaze, and focused on activating the Xuanyuan Divine Sword. The Xuanyuan Divine Sword split open all the blood light on the blood-colored mask and continued to strike the mask body, with Xuanyuan’s Divine Thunder and Xuan Yang Devil-Convert Mighty Force mixed together, surging into the mask like a raging tide. With a gentle crackle, a crack appeared on the blood-colored mask. Shen Luo’s spirits lifted, and he infused all his mana into the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, increasing its power once again, pressing down hard, intending to destroy the mask on the spot. Yet, at this moment, a five-colored light pierced through the walls surrounding the great hall, sweeping past near the Xuanyuan Divine Sword. Under the divine sword, there was instantly a lightness, and the blood-colored mask disappeared into thin air. Shen Luo was startled, and the Xuanyuan Divine Sword immediately slashed out horizontally, a massive golden sword qi cutting towards the five-colored light, leaving a long spatial rift in the void everywhere it passed. The five-colored light wavered slightly, revealing a disconsolate-looking man and a figure in a bamboo hat and black robe — Kong Xuan and demon wind. Their clothes were somewhat tattered, each bearing several blood streaks on them, clearly having gained nothing from the battle with Xuanyuan’s remnant soul. Kong Xuan waved his five fingers, shooting out five feather-like lights, presenting gold, green, red, blue, and yellow colors, sweeping past the Xuanyuan Sword qi. The unparalleled sword qi disappeared into thin air, as if it had never appeared. “Kong Xuan, demon wind!” Shen Luo recognized their identities, his pupils shrinking. Kong Xuan ignored Shen Luo, flipped his hand taking out an item — the blood-colored mask, on which appeared a fine, long crack, looking like it had been slashed on a human face, greatly marred, with its aura significantly damaged. “Dare to damage the Asura mask! You deserve endless deaths for your crime!” Demon wind glared at Shen Luo angrily. Kong Xuan also frowned, looking towards Shen Luo. Shen Luo only felt his hair stand on end, as if staring at a prehistoric beast, immediately flashed away, retreating backward. Kong Xuan raised an arm, five fingers spread wide, releasing a five-colored phantom that shot out from his hand, appearing in front of Shen Luo in a flash. Shen Luo strained his divine sense power to sense it, barely discerning it to be a five-colored sword shadow emitting waves of soul power fluctuation, seemingly a divine soul attack similar to a Heart Sword. The speed of the five-colored sword shadow was incomparably fast, his abilities unable to respond, leaving him only to watch the sword shadow come at him. Just at this moment, a golden light shot over from afar, arriving ahead to reach Shen Luo’s front first, it was Xuanyuan’s remnant soul. The five-colored sword shadow entered Xuanyuan’s remnant soul’s body, like a stone sinking into the sea, without any reaction. “Senior Xuanyuan, thank you.” Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, cupping his hands in gratitude. Xuanyuan’s remnant soul waved his hand without speaking. Shen Luo looked at Kong Xuan and demon wind, and the blood-colored mask, hesitated twice, and finally sighed. Kong Xuan’s cultivation was exceedingly high, he couldn’t sense it clearly, clearly having already broken through the Heavenly Venerate Realm, with the blood-colored mask in his possession, dreaming of retrieving it was hopeless, he could only give up. “You finally came.” The Ape Ancestor flew and landed beside Kong Xuan and demon wind. “We’ve honored our agreement, helping you obtain this Asura mask, as promised before, you cannot go back on your oath.” Mi Su brought Tu Shantong and also flew over, saying. “Rest assured, our demon clan always keeps our word and will not disappoint you.” Demon wind tucked away his anger, speaking very courteously. Suddenly, with reinforcement from the enemy, therein some were High People of the Heavenly Venerate Realm, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Little White Dragon were increasingly anxious, subconsciously flying over to Shen Luo and Xuanyuan’s remnant soul. Only Sun Wukong remained unmoving, standing where he was, watching the Ape Ancestor. “Did you truly ally with the demon clan?” He slowly spoke. “Indeed.” The Ape Ancestor chuckled and said. “Have you forgotten who killed Purple Mist?” Sun Wukong’s face was calm as water, speaking each word firmly. Upon hearing the words ‘Purple Mist’, the Ape Ancestor’s expression also sank unexpectedly and only after a while did he slowly speak: “Purple Mist actually died at your and my hands, if it weren’t for us fighting, how would she have died at Tianmei Demon Woman’s hand.” Sun Wukong fell silent upon hearing this. “I’ve figured it out over these days, if I had been stronger that year, had killed you early and devoured the source, Purple Mist wouldn’t have had issues. Now, I only want to become stronger and take back what should be mine!” The Ape Ancestor looked at Sun Wukong, speaking firmly word by word. “Alright, I’ll be waiting for you!” Sun Wukong sneered, turned and walked away, moving over to Manjusri and Samantabhadra’s side. Nie Caizhu, Bai Linglong, Ao Hong, and others also flew over, Nie Caizhu activated the Free and Easy Mirror to bolster their side’s power. With a flash of red light, Mirror Fiend, Zhao Feiji, and others emerged. Not only that, golden shadows flickered in the nearby void, a Destructive Mingwang Yan Armor emerged. Shen Luo had been trapped by Mr. Purple using the Law Space earlier, while the Destructive Mingwang was isolated outside. Without Shen Luo’s control, the Destructive Mingwang soon stopped moving, causing Nie Caizhu to fear others would destroy this powerful armor, hence she stored it into the Free and Easy Mirror. Seeing the Destructive Mingwang, Shen Luo’s eyes lit up with joy, his brow immediately shot out a beam of divine soul crystal thread, entering the Destructive Mingwang. The spirit patterns on the Destructive Mingwang instantly shimmered, a vast aura spreading out. “Where is the Rat Venerable?” Kong Xuan ignored all this, looking around the tower, asking. “He’s already dead by this person.” Mi Su gestured towards Shen Luo. Kong Xuan looked at Shen Luo, slightly more solemn. “Rat Venerable’s Heart Demon Method has already succeeded, Heart Demon Puppets transforming into thousands, with the Heaven Stealing Bead at his side, how could he die by this person?” Demon wind was incredulous. “I don’t know the specifics either, just now during the battle, Rat Venerable possessed Ancestral Dragon, was trapped in the sword array by Shen Luo, after the sword array dissipated, Rat Venerable never appeared again.” Mi Su said. Upon hearing this, demon wind flipped his hand, activating a black jade symbol, its demonic light flickering, seemingly in query of Mr. Purple. After several breaths, the jade symbol’s demonic light remained steadily flickering, demon wind’s expression turned cold, looking at Shen Luo with murderous intent. Shen Luo was secretly vigilant, activating various magical treasures within him, ready to strike. “Demon wind, don’t forget why we’re here, since the Asura mask is already in hand, it’s unwise to linger here.” Kong Xuan suddenly said. Demon wind took a deep breath upon hearing this, regaining his composure upon reopening his eyes. Kong Xuan saw this, said nothing, swished his sleeves, enveloping several people in dazzling five-colored light, vanished into the void without a trace. Everyone in the tower dreaded Kong Xuan’s strength, besides, they were all already weary after continuous fierce battles, hence did not pursue. Shen Luo activated the Chaos Black Lotus, sensing the five-colored light. This light fled into the void, swiftly fleeing afar, disappearing from Little Western Paradise within a couple of breaths. He breathed a silent sigh of relief but did not retract the black lotus roots, instead extending all the roots to explore and monitor each place’s situation, wary of Kong Xuan and others returning.
